Metrosexual Blokes


Seen my lab block finished earlier, I shall write more craps onto my blog!

What you people might notice these days are guys are becoming more metrosexual orientated. What is metrosexual, one may ask. Metrosexual meant guys who take good care of themselves, with expensive products which gals normally will use. Let's start from top to toe.

Hair - Nowadays guys only spend 20 bucks and above on their haircut. Unlike the golden days, where a normal bloke will only go for 5 bucks cut (P.S. by the Indian barber). Any salon shop with the name Barber, are doomed to be bankcrupt except they are in rural area. I don't understand what really happen to the Aussie salon, they really sucks.... The way they cut our hair really make me regretting everytime I ever come out of the Aussie salon. So I've decided to go Asian stylish salon instead! About hairdo, Asian are definitely better. The hair colour might not be their natural hair colour, with all the highlighting and dyes. Some guys will even go to the extreme, curl perm (>.>) or straight perm their hair! Every morning, they need to be blow dried, style with matt gum/ matt wax then followed by hairspray to keep the style throughout the day.

Face - These days, there are all kind of facial washing for Men. L'oreal for Men, Nivea for Men, Clinique for Men, etc etc.. Before such trend are conformed, guys just wash their face with normal soap. Which my dad still do.... Blokes with pimples are just plain bad luck. But now, blokes wash their face with these facial cleanser, followed by conditioner, then even some with lotions.

Eyes - Gals put stuffs over their eyes to cover the eye-bags. Blokes? There are new products which help blokes to reduce their eye-bags. I have no idea what advantages on that... Not that gals will look at those for long...


Mouth - Well, I should put all these stuffs into face, but what the heck. Okay, what do you do if your mouth are dry and started cracking in winter time? Some blokes will put lip-gloss. I have had a lip-gloss for Men, no taste and smell! I don't want to smell like a gal with strawberry lip gloss.....


Clothes - Unlike the 80ties, blokes in this century spend quite a lot of time, matching clothes before going out. Brown colour shirt definitely cant go with brown pants and brown shoe.... But we only do such thing only for dates! If hanging out with your bloke friends, I don't think most of us will care. Some of my bloke friends actually worked in a boutique, just to get cheap clothes out of the store. By the end of the month, his money will be mostly gone back to the store, instead of using it as daily expenses. Others only wear Quicksilver/Billabong clothes. No matter how crazily overcharged are those clothes.
Perfumes - Perfume, yes perfume. They are not only the best friends to gals, to men as well. Some of my friends are crazy with perfumes. One for different occasions. They are not cheap, especially in Malaysia. But we can get quite a reasonable price in Australia. Father's Day, perfume can go down to only 20 bucks per bottle. Don't even mention Mother's Day.


Shoes - Which blokes don't have more than 2 pairs of shoes? One shoe for normal casual wear, one for formal wear. Aussie definitely have one or two things about thongs.


These are now, or maybe for some people. In future, most blokes definitely will be heading to the pedicure/medicure salon for their nails... Putting cosmetics when going to some places..... etc etc. So pardon us, if in the future, we need to powder our nose also before going out for a date. hahaaha. All we need to do are; take a good shower (hopefully not a bubble bath), wash our face, apply some lotion on our faces, apply the anti-eye bag lotion, change our clothes, dry our hair followed by styling and hairspraying, spray a few puff of perfume, wear our shoes and we are ready to go! ahahahaha.


P.S. I, myself, am a metrosexual blokes, not going to argue about that. What I hope is that I don't been influenced by the norm to go pedicure center someday... Metrosexual blokes are not gay, and will not be.
